Apparently I'm going for University next July
I'm not sure I wanna get an iPad for eBooks because battery life on my current Windows 10 tablet is max 5 hours on extreme minimum settings. [Acer Switch Alpha 12]

Unless I buy a battery bank that can charge my laptop, is unlikely I can survive the whole day with lectures.
It comes with a stylus that drain battery like water.

The current lineup of iPads are already quite good. If you are not desperate to get one, you could wait for the newer iPads to launch. If not just get the iPad Pro 9.7 or the iPad Air 2 depending on your budget, both are very good tablets

If it is purely for iBooks, documents and PDF's, the iPad Air 2 is sufficient. Apple is rolling that iPad model for schools to be used solely for that.

I would say shop for a used but good condition iPad Air 2. The value has dropped tremendously. That way, when the new one is launched and you feel compelled to upgrade, you can do so with less heartache.
